CHAMPLAIN BRIDGE, REINFORCEMENT OF TEN SPANDREL BEAMS
Champlain bridge, reinforcement of ten spandrel beams
This bridge constructed in the 1960’s, was at the end of its useful lifetime. Despite the construction of the New Samuel-de-Champlain bridge, it was necessary to reinforce several spandrel beams, worn out by their long usage. Sofab structural steel fabricated 10 super trusses to keep a part of the bridge alive.
